In pictures: Aid arrives in Philippines as victims of Typhoon Haiyan are buried

Scores of decaying bodies were being taken to mass graves as overwhelmed Philippines authorities grappled with the disposal of the dead while the living begged for help after the typhoon disaster. The expected arrival later in the day of the USS George Washington, a huge aircraft carrier with 5,000 sailors aboard, offered some hope for the hungry and thirsty left to roam the ruined city of Tacloban.Picture: REUTERS/Erik De Castro
